Faun

This is the furthest I've ever gotten in getting a character modelled in 3D. My previous attempts usually ended before I could even finish the head. It is far from perfect, but it sure is a milestone for me!

Initial sketch of Faun the girl-satyr. The name could have been less appealing, like Panny...

Minotaur

These exploratory sketches were made for a 3D modelling exercise I was attempting a few weeks ago. After much consideration, the idea of the minotaur was shelved in favour of a satyr, which gave me the opportunity to model a human head and torso.

The Phantom's Opera

Some may rule this out as a commercial product, its characters mere mascots that sing and dance. But was the Phantom of the Opera not written with integrity and heart when it was first conceived, before it gained commercial success that begged mass production?

It's finished! Finally!

It took a while to get started on the polishing after leaving it for a couple of months after the competition. I took as much as I could from the Critique without altering the original intention of the animation. Even so, about 90% of the animation had to be redrawn to accommodate even the most subtle changes. The changes may not be apparent, but I feel this definitely has a better flow in the animation than the first one.

I'm now ready to start on another piece. The track will be from the December competition of the 11 Second Club. I love that track!! I was too busy at that time to enter, so I will now pursue this in my own time. The goal is to have this conceived in 3D. I'm re-learning a lot of the things in Maya at the moment. I'm tired of missing out on job opportunities because of my handicap in 3D.

The backstory of the December soundtrack has already been explored and thought out, so I'm really excited to get things started. I shall document the progress of this little project here as often as I'm able.
